Minimalism Master Cheese Board (Printable)

Elegant selection of aged Comté, Jamón Ibérico, and Castelvetrano olives arranged perfectly for sharing.

# What You Need:

→ Cheese

01 - 2.8 oz aged Comté, sliced

→ Charcuterie

02 - 2.8 oz Jamón Ibérico, thinly sliced

→ Gourmet Accompaniment

03 - 2.8 oz Castelvetrano olives, pitted and drained

# How-To Steps:

01 - On a clean serving board, visually divide the space into three equal sections.

02 - Neatly arrange the aged Comté slices in the first third of the board.

03 - Fold and layer the Jamón Ibérico attractively in the middle third of the board.

04 - Place the Castelvetrano olives either in a small bowl or pile them artfully in the last third of the board.

05 - Serve immediately at room temperature to fully appreciate the flavors.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -

Three ingredients mean every single flavor shines without competing for attention.
Ten minutes of prep time makes this the most elegant thing you can serve when someone unexpected drops by.
Room temperature means no last-minute reheating stress—just pure, unfussy enjoyment.

02 -

Comté that's too cold tastes muted and waxy—it needs to warm up on the board to release its sweetness and depth.
Jamón Ibérico is delicate and expensive; slice it just before serving so it doesn't dry out or lose its silky texture.

03 -

Buy your cheese and ham as close to serving time as possible—these ingredients are at their peak when they're fresh and haven't been wrapped and stressed.
If you're making this for a crowd, arrange the board no more than an hour before serving so the cheese stays firm and the ham doesn't start to curl and dry.
